• ‎# iPad as a Drawing Tablet for Mac via USB # # Requires a Mac for Drawing # Support Apple Pencil pressure and tilt for various Mac apps for drawing. Control the canvas with touch gestures while mirroring the whole screen. Fast and simple USB connection will let you focus on your workflow.
• By 'mirroring' to the external monitor (iPad) in display settings, one gets the same view on the graphics tablet as on the Mac's screen. Astropad is another combo (about $30) that focuses more on the graphics tablet idea. You cannot use it as an external monitor, but define an area of your Mac's screen that is mirrored to the tablet.

Astropad has everything you need in a drawing tablet. Hot keys and touch zoom/panning, it has everything. The Apple Pencil is super responsive with photoshop, I’ve yet to use it on other drawing programs but I’m sure it’ll work just as well. If you own an iPad Pro, an Apple Pencil and are looking to upgrade to a drawing tablet. Astropad Studio is the ultimate wireless drawing tablet, designed for the most demanding creative work. With complete workspace customization, Studio allows artists to work faster and more efficiently, with the freedom to work in the studio, at home, or on-the-go.

You’ve just raised the bar to the next level…When I tell some of my colleagues about this they are going to freak, seriously.

I have to say, Astropad is such a gem. I had invested in an iPad and didn’t have the funds to also have a huge Wacom tablet. I love the way Astropad works for me.
